i think we've heard from john mccain, for example. his concern about making sure that the high physical fitness standards are kept, and i agree. i think in some of these jobs that do require a great amount of physical fitness, those standards should not be compromised. if women are in an ability to meet those standards, they should be allowed to serve. >> congresswoman, thank you for being with us this morning. aloha, as you say. i appreciate it the time. >>> we're going to obviously keep talking about the pentagon, they're going to make that announcement this afternoon at 1:30. >>> ahead this morning on "starting pointing" we're going to get some insight on it from the general spider marks. also victoria clarke is former assistant secretary of defense and public affairs. she'll join us as well. >>> then we'll take a sneak peek at football commercials and also tell you the story of a baby born with her heart outside the chest. an amazing story of survival. your not going to want to miss that. we're back in just a moment. aveeno has an

. >> reporter: republican senator john mccain supports the kerry nomination. but he again criticized president obama for not taking stronger action against the assad regime. >> we are sowing the wind in syria, and we're going reap the whirlwind. and that whirlwind will be the increased presence of al-qaida and islamist groups, which are now flooding into syria, as you know. and we can do a lot more without putting american boots on the ground, and we can prevent this further slaughter and massacre and inhumanity. otherwise, we will be judged very, very harshly by history. >> i have complete understanding of where you're coming from on this and knowing your frustration and know what you're trying to say about it. what i think everybody worries about, john, is that if you have a complete implosion of the state, nobody has clear definition of how you put those pieces back together, number one. and number two, you have a much greater risk with respect to the chemical weapons. now, that's why i want to get in and see what the contingency plans are because i can't m
